#1
Olive Salad
Central GroceryFrench Quarter·$
$12.00
Central Grocery's signature marinated olive salad with olives, cauliflower, celery, and pickled vegetables.
Tip: Many people order jars of olive salad to take home or ship to friends. A jar will last weeks in the refrigerator and transforms sandwiches at home.
#2
Spicy Muffuletta - The Bam-Bam

$14.50
The muffuletta with added spicy ingredients and a kick of heat.

#3

Half of the original muffuletta for solo diners or lighter appetites.

Muffuletta
Central GroceryFrench Quarter·$
$18.00
The original Italian sandwich with ham, salami, mortadella, Swiss, provolone, and marinated olive salad on a round loaf.
Tip: This is the original muffuletta — the reason other versions exist. One sandwich serves two people comfortably, or one very hungry person. It's enormous and should be eaten fresh.
